Chapter 296: Chapter 296: It’s the Human Heart That’s Bad! Chapter 296: Chapter 296: It’s the Human Heart That’s Bad! Gu Qiaoqiao thought of this and couldn’t help but giggle out loud.
Yes, this scene was beautiful.
Although the road ahead was long, the goal was also good.
She was also looking forward to that day’s arrival.
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt several surprised stares cast her way.
She immediately came back to her senses.
Gu Qingfeng, however, sadly put down his porridge bowl.
His excellent great-granddaughter, the Successor of the Gu Family, had infuriated him when she recognized him.
But upon seeing Lady Yu, she was both heartbroken and crying, then followed by laughter of joy.
Lady Yu was his wife; he could not be jealous of her; he should be happy.
Yet, his heart felt both bitter and sour.
Lady Yu hated him, Qiaoqiao didn’t care about him, and for the legitimate grandson he had yet to meet, he already felt a bit uneasy and anxious.
His son, was his father.
And Gu Kun was a qualified father, as was Gu Tianfeng, only he was not.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingfeng felt a sense of despair and a life devoid of love.
It seemed, at that moment, that he had been abandoned by the world.
Qin Yize still maintained his silence, he did not understand the situation of the previous generations’ grievances, and it was not his place to interject.
And Gu Qiaoqiao’s mood apparently flitted between good and bad, seemingly lost in thought, at times angry, at times laughing.
Seeing that everyone had finished eating, he suggested that Uncle Gu accompany the Old Patriarch, and he gathered the dishes and utensils.
Gu Qiaoqiao stopped her wild thoughts.
Looking at Gu Qingfeng, whose complexion was not good, she gently said, “You should rest early, Great Grandma has also gone to sleep, the shock she received today was too great, you should give her some time to buffer, let’s not bring up the past; we’ll talk about it when we get to Border City…”
Gu Qingfeng’s expression grew bleak, seemingly aging a few more years.
After a long while, he hoarsely asked, “Great Grandma has gone to sleep?”
“Yes, she should be asleep by now.”
With the peace Buddha pendant and the carved wooden figures, Great Grandma, despite being full of worries, should have been able to sleep.
Once asleep, she wouldn’t think so much about the troubles.
Gu Qingfeng pursed his lips and did not speak.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a while and repeated the words Zhao Yuxiang had said to him.
After a long while, Gu Qingfeng nodded, “Qiaoqiao, thank her for me…”
He was grateful to Zhao Yuxiang.
Looking at Lady Yu’s condition, he knew she had taken very good care of her.
It’s not that adopted children are bad.
It’s the human heart that’s wrong!
“Okay, I will tell her. You should rest as well…”
Saying this, Gu Qiaoqiao stood up.
Qin Yize gave this household one hundred yuan, and the family happily went to stay at someone else’s house.
So two rooms were freed up.
Uncle Gu helped the Old Patriarch to another room.
The yard quieted down.
There weren’t many households in this small logging area.
At night, there wasn’t the bustle and noise of a big city, only the sound of insects, nothing else.
Gu Qiaoqiao was wide awake.
Contemplating the matters of Great Grandfather, Great Grandma, and the Gu Family.
The seemingly simple Gu Family was like a Deep Pool, once you stepped into it, you couldn’t come out again.
After tidying up, Qin Yize came out of the kitchen of this household.
He shook off the droplets of water from his hands and saw Gu Qiaoqiao lost in thought again.
This time her daydreaming seemed like normal contemplation.
The yard was very quiet.
But at that moment, the mosquitoes became more numerous.
Strangely, those mosquitoes hovered around Gu Qiaoqiao, buzzing, but they didn’t target her.
Qin Yize found it very strange…
